Frogdogs score!

[apocrypha]

Sorry, I've not got round to sorting that out yet. The guy who rents it has been away working a lot this week, I'll hopefully chat to him tonight and get him to show me how to add users etc.

[Nebu]

I think I reached my limit with pvp in SWTOR today... which surprised me as I'm usually a huge fan.  A powertech spent the entirety of every hutball match that I played with and against him doing nothing but standing on the edge of an acid pit and pulling people to it and stunning them there.  Seriously, all match, every match. 

Between things like this and getting bounced around the place like a pinball, I think I'm just going to skip huttball from now on. 

[Fordel]

Maybe you need to reroll again Nebu. The grass is certainly greener SOMEWHERE.

I'm leveling a toon on Shien as well as 3 alts all approaching 50.  I gave up on my sniper.  Even with lethality spec, the class plays too slow. 

[CmdrSlack]

Tried PVP for the first time today.

Huttball is by far the most fun, but I did have one Alderaan group that got the 'hold two cannons' concept. I think I ended up with Valor 5, about halfway to 6. I bought an implant for 175 WZ commendations.

One more match should get me to 47, which was the goal. Huttball would likely be more fun if people didn't just cluster in the middle and go for kills. The matches that were fun were the ones where people actually focused on the ball carrier.

[Nevermore]

A lot of times they're not clustered around the middle just to get kills.  Controlling the middle is important so you can get neutral balls.

And that powertech doing nothing put pulling people into the acid?  More than likely he's not contributing all that much to his team.

[Fordel]

Everything about Huttball is positioning. Everything.

[Zetor]

PUG vs PUG huttball at 50 on my server mostly boils down to a simple condition:

"Do we have at least 4 vanguard/PTs and sage/sorcs combined and do we have a guardian/juggernaut who knows what he's doing? If so - win. If this is true for the enemy team - lose. If this is true for neither team - it'll be 0:0 and won by whoever can hold the ball last."

[Fordel]

Those are the classes that provide superior positioning!

[Nebu]

[disKret]

won by whoever can hold the ball last."

I think it has been changed to whoever has more medals.

[proudft]

Ugh, I hope not.  Holding onto the ball when you're tied is strategery I would not like to see disappear.  I've been that glory person a couple of times, even!

[Nevermore]

He must be trying to be sarcastic, because it's still whoever is holding the ball last.

[disKret]

He must be trying to be sarcastic, because it's still whoever is holding the ball last.

Nope. I lost a few times beeing the last ball carrier. Other team was farming us for medals. At the end 0:0, me with the ball, almost all member of opposite team full gold, our team almost all silver. We lost.

[Crumbs]

Well, as Doyle said in Sling Blade, "Fuck me."

Can anyone confirm whether queueing in a group causes you to be matched with others who've queued as a group? 

[Der Helm]

I highly doubt that.

[Nebu]

Can anyone confirm whether queueing in a group causes you to be matched with others who've queued as a group? 

Queued as a group literally hundreds of times.  Never seen any sort of trend to suggest this.

[Crumbs]

Hm.  My buddy and I queued as a group several times, and went up against teams that seemed way too coordinated to be pugs.  Later we queued solo and repeatedly won matches.  Not exactly what you'd call scientific data collection, to be sure, but it made us wonder.

[Rendakor]

The change to resolving ties sounds about right; we had a match where I scored the typing point with ~1s left on the clock. The game ended before the ball respawned (with the score now tied 2:2) but gave us the win. We weren't sure why but a lot of us had 6+ medals so that explains it.

[Fordel]

It might be damage too? Dunno.


Been fooling around on my Vanguard in Warzones again, I'm not faring to badly considering I don't have a single piece of PvP gear. My natural tankyness helps a lot. My Damage is really fucking bad though. "Oh yea, crit for you 800 bitch  "


This is my highscore so far:


That's an anomaly protection wise, I'm usually averaging half of that. 50-60k. Goes way way up if I am getting actual heals though. It's a very throttled mechanic, you can only taunt so many times a match and guarding will whittle you down without help.

[Falconeer]

In happier news it appears the bug that made some wins not count is gone.

It is not.

[Nebu]

This is my highscore so far:

Pretty impressive.  You're going to be a beast with good gear.

I had two Huttball tie score games yesterday.  Both times it went to the team that was holding the ball.  I've never seen a team holding the ball lose the game in a tie score situation.  Now if the ball is neutral I have no idea.

[Evildrider]

Pretty impressive.  You're going to be a beast with good gear.

I've hit over 500k and 65 kills in Voidstar when i was in mostly champion gear.  This is as a BH Pyrotech Merc.  So yeah your numbers will go up.

[Fordel]

500k protection? 

[Nebu]

Check out the protection.  It's amazing considering he also did 130k damage. 

[Threash]

Yeah my powertech is mostly tank specced in full champion gear and usually has someone guarded the entire match and i use taunts on cd and my best protection score was like half that, around 70k.

[caladein]

Best I've gotten on my baby Assassin has been 65k Protection, also on a nearly full-length Voidstar game.  A few more levels until AOE taunt, then .

[Falconeer]

500k damage for a mercenary sadly is not that impressive. 500k protection would be a different story.

Also, I've seen Sith sorcs (but not Jedi sages) heal consistently in a WZ for 660k. Have you seen more than that? Not e-peening, just curious about how crazy high that value can get.

To add generic informations, with my Vanguard DPS I got as high as 380k damage, but the sad thing is that while I've never met a DPS vanguard that scored higher than me, I met more than a Powertech going way over it. Which makes you wonder "am I doing it wrong or no matter what Bioware says that are some imbalances between mirrored classes?".

[Ingmar]

There are some minor differences in animation times and stuff that they're trying to iron out, but there are no Large Differences.

[CmdrSlack]

This might be better addressed in the "noob questions" thread, but here goes . . . When do I start getting commendations other than WZ ones? Is that lv 50 only?

[Furiously]

When you sell your WZ commendations for the merc commendations.

[Khaldun]

Which, by the way, is yet another "WTF" thing. I don't know what the point of that is. Tons and tons of people need to have explained to them--it's a completely obscure mechanic.

[Ingmar]

Yeah I don't get that one at all. It seems like some temporary workaround or something that just ended up going live.

[Evildrider]

or get them from chests in the Dune Sea pvp area I hear.
